That's a bad call on Smoke Monday. It will be a worse call if he's kicked out. He clearly tried to go all shoulder.

Two problems for Auburn. One, their reserve QB is awful. Two, they don’t look like they give one crap about being there. Always a question mark on these bowls as to what team really cares about playing. Happens all the time. That’s why I don’t put too much stock in bowl results. Especially now with players opting out and Covid.

I think Harsin's job is safe. The question is would he be the one to bolt back to the West Coast in the first couple of years.

I'm not sure. The Washington, Washington St, and Oregon jobs all came open this year and he stayed put. I'm still surprised he left Boise St for Auburn. Not that Auburn isn't the better job, but because Harsin is from Boise and a Boise St alum and they were consistently good.

Tank Bigsby finally churning.

Of course as soon as I post this he gets hit for a loss

Finley's looks similar to Milton. No touch. Throwing too deep on long balls, slow pitching the short passes, mid distance is over the WRs head.

Probably just took the money.

They should. If anything Houston should be in a better bowl. I always find this to be an excuse for losing. Just means losers are on the team if true. Though they may be disappointed with being 6-6 and the Birmingham Bowl, competitors compete. If they lose it's because they were beaten not because they didn't try.

I agree, but I figured he'd eventually get a job offering a similar salary somewhere closer to home, where he's more familiar with the landscape/recruiting territory.

Harsin at Auburn seemed like an odd fit from the beginning. I guess it is actually more surprising that Auburn was interested in him rather than the other way around because you're right - Harsin was making not quite $2m at Boise and Auburn basically tripled his salary. That has a way of getting you interested in the job.

I have a friend connected to Auburn who pointed to "booster issues" (sound familiar) at Auburn leading to the Harsin hire. Apparently the $$$ couldn't agree on things and the AD went rogue/off the script to get Harsin.

As we've seen, booster debacle hires are usually a bust. I'd look for Auburn to be a barn fire soon.
